The Double Dees had a slightly wider profile, maybe it was just in my head but it felt slightly more locked on corner exit.

As for how to do it, I usually chuck up a course sanding bit into my dremmel to knock off the pins and get it close to a slick, then put the fine bit on to smooth it out and make it look nice. A guy sitting behind me suggested I work a bit slower than I was so I not overheat the tires, apparently it can change the chemical compound and the tire won't work as well. I dont know how much truth is to it, but another thing to consider.

Ghost pins worked ok on my buggy in the main, but I ran pressure points all around on my 22SCT in the main and it was junk. I would have ran ghost pins instead if I could do it over.
